Denis O'Brien's Spanish golf course named 2031 Ryder Cup host
Golf's biggest team match is coming to Spain as the 2031 Ryder Cup will take place in Camiral Golf Course in Girona.
2031 also marks a return to Spain, 34 years after Spanish great Seve Ballesteros led Europe to victory over the USA at Valderrama. The course is the number 1 course in Spain, ranked amongst the top-20 in the world and has five-star Hotel and state-of-the-art Wellness Centre.
The course, formerly known as PGA Catalunya is part of the Quinta do Lago group owned by Denis O'Brien and has previously hosted the Open de Espana three times in 2000, 2009 and 2014 and the Sarazen World Open in 1999.

Camiral is on the doorstep of Barcelona, Girona and Costa Brava and speaking with course owners and entrepreneurs Denis O'Brien and Catherine O'Brien talked about how hosting the Ryder Cup is a destiny fulfilled and what it will mean for the local economy of Girona and Catalunya.
'Hosting The Ryder Cup is the realisation of a long-held dream to bring golf's greatest sporting event to Catalonia and Spain.
'For the communities of Girona, Costa Brava and Barcelona, it will create immediate economic benefits, driving high value golf and leisure tourism in the years leading up to The 2031 Ryder Cup, and a long-lasting legacy built on the reputation of hosting one of the greatest sporting events in the world.
'We would like to thank the Catalan and Spanish Government and the Spanish Golf Federation for all of their support and we look forward to continuing our great relationship with the Ryder Cup Committee.'

Camiral is one of the most sustainable golf courses in Europe, using 100% recycled waste water and harvested water for irrigation to water the course. The Ryder Cup is one of the biggest sporting events in the world, watched by millions around the globe and is looking to leave a lasting legacy, with long-term economic benefits worth millions to the community before, during and after the event.
With Adare Manor being the next European host in 2027, today's news also mean that the Ryder Cup will be hosted by two Irish-owned Golf Courses over the next decade.
